Sweet and simple warmth wraps

Around and found

Beating hands’ red dirt roads

Come true
be present

Not only found but profoundly

Persistent in my extremities'
existence 

Mind sweet as, memories

Oh be free they cry

As I rush to brush this heckling flashing dial 

Oh be free they cry

So I shall oblige,

If only in a thought that lingers on my spine

This is the waterfalls that we went to when we went on safari over Easter.

Time is flying by

So my time is coming to an end here in Mukono. We leave this Thursday at 5 am for a 13 some hours bus ride to Rwanda. It should be a good time. I heard the road are just a little bumpy so we shall see:) We are going to Bagali and a few other places along the way on our 10day trip. I'm really excited about going, I have always wanted to go to Rwanda and now I am. But on the other hand it means that these next 2days are the last that I get with my family and friends:( I've really come to love it here. At first it was really hard. I didn't know anyone and I was trying to get use to doing just about everything different; from eating dinner at 10 or 11 to brushing my teeth and wash my face out in the middle of the yard. Hahaha Now I'm use to all those things I forget sometimes how life is different from life in the States cause I feel so comfortable. I remember the first night laying in my bed under my mosquito net listening to hostel across the street playing super load music and people screaming( which at the time i thought it was a mob of people who were going to come and break into the house and take me...hahahaha) and thinking how the heck I was going to make it through 4 months of this!
Now I'm not ready to leave. I mean I really miss everyone back home but I'm going to miss everyone sooo much here too. Its like a double eged sword. I mean the loud music and the random person yelling outside doesn't phase me anymore. It's never quite here
So here are a few of the things that I'm going to really miss from my life here:
-the 6am Wasuzie otya wake up calls of my host dad before he goes off to work
- sitting drinking morning tea listening to the birds and watching the people walk by on the road.
-my walk to school
-watching the chicken jump on the roof of the kitchen
-helping cut up vegs for dinner
-watching La Tormenta with my host brother
-taking a bucket bath
-sitting in the kitchen when the power goes off with the family watching the fire and talking
- playing tag with Stuart and Kyongo
-all foods and the pineapple ginger juice that my family makes
and there is so much more. I wish that I could just stay a little longer or everone from home could just come here. That would be perfect:) well I hope everyone is doing well. See you in May. I think this will be my last post. I may or may not get a chance on the 30th to post about Rwanda.

This is a picture of the view from the hill that we climb in Rahki

Namuganga in Nabuti

I forgot to write about this before but I have a Luganda name that my host dad calls me all the time. Its Namuganga. I'm not sure what it means or what clan my family is from. Every time I ask I get a different answer so I'm not sure. All I know is that I share it with my host sister Matilda. And I found out yesterday that the name of the village that I live in is Nabuti. So I'm Namuganga Deborah and I live in Nabuti. Ha!
I've been sick this last weekend but I'm better for the most part just a little tried. Not sure what it was. It may have been from eating peanut butter balls or it may have been a bug? I not sure but its all over. All the same I went on the IMME trip and went to Rahki to the Kabaali community centre that is partially run by Canadians. They had some really neat projects that they do to help the community that are really creative. If you want to hear more about the trip just ask me when I get home. Which is soon.
I think that I will get to go on a safari this weekend with some of the other IMMEs it should be a fun time.
Happy Early Easter everyone!

Sorry I haven't had a very good update lately. I've been very busy. Things are going well, I've just had a lot going on.

As you saw from the picture I visited the Nile River - even got to touch it!

We had a chance to talk with a couple of missionaries last weekend while we were in Jinja. We also stayed in a place that had a hot shower and saw a cobra! Quite a weekend.

This coming weekend we will be visiting some other missionaries when we travel to Rahki. We are never really sure what will happen when we get there until we get there but I'm sure we will have a good time.

Hope to have some more stories for you later.
